Survey Information


Mathematica is conducting the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) under contract with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).


To enhance the information we obtain by surveying their parents, we need for you to complete this brief form, the Teacher Child Report, about each of the children in the study who are from your class. The Teacher Child Report (TCR) asks you to report on the current language, learning, and social skills; classroom conduct; and approaches to learning that you have observed in these children from your class. Your class may be held virtually or some children may attend your class virtually. Please do your best to answer the questions based on your experiences with the child so far this year.


The form will take about 7 minutes for each child.


Taking part is completely voluntary. There are no risks or direct benefits from taking part in the study. If you choose to take part in the study but then decide you want to leave the study at any point, that is okay.


No one outside of the Mathematica study team will be able to connect you to the responses you provide in the teacher-child report. That means other program staff, including your supervisor, will not know how you answered the questions. Some questions might ask you to answer questions in your own words. We may use statements or parts of statements you make in connection with the study; however, we will not identify you as the source of the statement; we also will not identify your program or community. We will never identify you or any individual parent, child, or other staff member, in any report; reports will contain only general study results. All information collected as part of FACES will be kept private to the extent permitted by law unless we learn that a child has been hurt or is in danger or you tell us that you plan to seriously hurt yourself or someone else – then by law, we must make a report to the appropriate legal authorities. In the future, survey responses from the study (with nothing identifying individuals, programs, or communities) will be securely shared only with qualified individuals who are studying Head Start children, their families, and programs.


We have a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health. The Certificate helps us protect your privacy. This strictly limits when the study team can give out information that identifies you, even in court. However, we may need to share your information if it shows a serious threat to you or to others, including reporting to authorities when required by law. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) may ask for data for an audit or evaluation. If they do, we will need to provide it. However, only DHHS staff involved in the review will see it.

A1a. How does the child currently attend your class?

Note: In-person refers to instruction taking place face-to-face with you and the child and should be selected if that is the usual mode of instruction for the child, even if the child is receiving virtual instruction temporarily due to COVID exposure. Virtual or remote instruction should be selected when a child does not meet with you in person and instead receives instruction in real time via a web-based video platform such as Zoom, or completes assignments on the child/family’s own time on platforms such as Class Dojo or Ready Rosie, or on paper with instructional materials sent home. Hybrid should be selected if the child receives a combination of in-person and virtual or remote instruction.
